- Option 1: Panipat: This city is not historically known as the capital of Magadha. It is more famous for the battles in medieval Indian history.

- Option 2: Varanasi: This is an ancient city, but it was significant as a religious and cultural center rather than as a political capital of Magadha.

- Option 3: Mathura: This city is more known for its significance in Hindu mythology and as a cultural hub, not as the capital of Magadha.
